A one-time 5 percent referral fee is also being offered by Recycletronics and/or Fort Green if a corporate referral is made within 12 months of the date of the event that results in a minimum of $1,000 of revenue to Recycletronics or Fort Green. (Future business with that corporate referral is not subject to the 5 percent fee.) In the case of Recycletronics, a good-faith estimate of the value of the electronics would be made when received and payment made at that time.
